Find the MyODBC version?

Is there a way from within an application to find the version of MyODBC
installed on a server? Perhaps a function similar to MySQL's version()
function that can be executed?

Offhand, does anyone know the minimum version number of MyODBC that should
be compatible with MySQL 5.0.24?

RE: Find the MyODBC version?

MyODBC is on the client, not the server, although it may be on the
server too. The one you use is the one on the machine where you are
running. On my machine I can go to Control Panel/Administrative
Tools/Data Sources (ODBC)/Drivers and see the version of MyODBC that I
have. You can probably get that programmatically too if you need it.
Whatever version of ODBC is on the server is not relevant, unless of
course your server and client are the same machine.

RE: Find the MyODBC version?

Keep in mind if you're using an application (such as a web app) on a Windows
server to access a MySQL server on a different machine via MyODBC, then the
server's version of MyODBC is what is connecting to your database. The
Windows server is in effect, the "client" of the MySQL server.

The client happens to be a web server, but I understand your point. I
have a web site on a shared web server for which I have no access to the
control panel or desktop. My web application is using ODBC to access a
MySQL database and I'd like to verify the MyODBC version number.

Anyone know if/how this information might be found programmatically?
